THank you for your advice. I think i'll survey the price myself. WIll go for Falken ze912 or yokohama a.drive.

If anyone have more info on this, pls let me know.

Thank you very much.

just changed the front tires to michelin ps3...cant get a good price...

240 bucks seem to be the standard price for 195/55/r15 ps3. either free wheel balancing or with alignment.

Any one can recommend which brand of tires suitable for Perodua Viva with this size ? 155/70R12 ??

Um.. my car currently using Falken FK452, but my friends keep telling me Falken wet grip is crap and I sure spin out one of these days.. utnil now wet condition i dun dare go fast also -.-

Any sifus here have any experience with Falken FK452 ah and willing to give me some tips?

WhiteWing@
most of the big player does not produce tyre of 12".
your choice is limited to dunlop d-01 or goodyear gps2. not sure about the traction / performance though.

MeToo@
what is your ride? was your falken fk452 made in indonesia?
directional tread tyre as in fk452 should be quite capable on wet. perhaps, tyre was below optimum temperature during rain
last time while using the same tyre for a couple of months, i noticed the grip is lessened at the end of a touge ride to cameron.
in my case, could be tyre heat up problem.

Currently using following.

Front - 245/35ZR19
Rear - 275/35ZR19

Not sure if made in Indon though, I think my friend just had a bad experience with the tyre (his car flipped over during cornering).

I'm going to need a new set of tyres soon, might look for something else if FK's really bad when wet cause.. our country.. rain every other day...

my right rear tire was punctured by small nail...so sayang, i just finish breaking in these tire

i then sent it to tire shop to repair,

the worker there just plug the area with rubber plug only, i ask him why he didn't seal on innerside, he then claim the punctured is so small, rubber plug is enough,

so what do u guys think...

those made in indonesia ones was quite inferior.
btw, i'll ditch fk452 anytime on performance car. goodyear gs3 or assymetric is fine. or toyo t1r / yokohama s.drive for the directional tread.
no doubt, fk452 is quiet for a directional tread pattern but that's not be all and all. grip and traction is fundamental.

h4dRi@
should be good enough.
monitor the tyre for a few days and see if the the air pressure go down faster than the other.

PS3 vs F1 Asy. 215/45R17. Which is best? And how much? About 500 i reckon.

both should be on par with own pro / cons and the f1 assy run slightly quieter but with a tread wear of 240, ps3 is more appropriate for daily ride with
a 320 rated tread wear!
btw, haven't try the f1 assy yet. but so far, i am happy with the ps3 on my both ride. might never go for another brand again
not sure about 215 price but 225/45/r17 cost in the region of 550. best bang for bucks by far.
feedback from ex-gs3 user who switched to ps3 was quite encouraging too; ps3 return a slightly higher compliment.

hi guys,

is xm1 195/60/15 RM235 a good buy?

What is the diff with XM1 and PS3? Im looking for quiet and good grip..

huh! xm1 at 235 is a worst buy. ps3 cost in the region of 250. just add a little bit and get a ps3.
both tyre are 2 world apart. xm1 has the worst grip in wet.
being a uhp, ps3 is noisier than xm1 of course but it made up more more with it's better grip and traction. doesn't matter if it's in wet or dry.

if on side then it'll damage ur tire~




there's no such PS3 on 195/60-15 only 195/55-15

How about the Toyo T1R compared to the R1R? Saw some tire reviews rating the R1R pretty high?

Also, was looking around for the RE070, but they seems to be discontinued?

Ah~ha, Rascal Stitch is here too

Hi guys

I'm looking forward to change my car's shock absorbers and tyres this coming weekend. I'm driving old Wira 1.6 Aeroback.

For the shock, I got offered Kayaba, Sakata and Sachs from the workshop that I usually visit, from few forumers feedback, I will take Sachs since most recommending it

As for the tyres, I been using Yokohama A-Drive now and was quoted RM175 / piece from the workshop including balancing and alignment. Rascal Stitch then recommending me Michelin XM1 which a slightly top-up from the price I was quoted for the A-Drive.

I'm just seeking more opinion here, which would be a better pick for me? A-Drive or XM1? I frequently drive on the highways.

I called my formen and he advised me not to take XM1 due to the (yin yang) patterns which will not convenient if wanted/needed to switch tyres or exchanging sides next time. How well should I take his advise?

I think tyre rotation is something that we all do on regular basis no? I know I rotate my tyres every 3~4 months.

Thank you so much for your reply.

doesn't matter yin yang or wat but can swap tires anywhere u wan cuz it's universal n not directional type~

hi guys,

im currently using 205/50/16, Yokohama adrive

Thought of changing to Michelin.

Is there much difference in terms of noise & FC between PS3 & primacy LC ?

I heard PS3 is very good in handling & grip.

Thanks
